The Macallan saw an opportunity to create a moment that transcends typical travel retail, immersive, emotional, and rooted in heritage. The goal was to build a bridge between generations of craftsmanship and modern travel, using cutting-edge digital tools to connect with a discerning global audience through heritage storytelling.
The TIME : SPACE pop-up turned airport concourses into whisky time machines. Central to the experience was The Heart of the Spirit, a VR journey that immersed travellers in The Macallan’s legacy, enhanced further by augmented reality storytelling. A tactile interactive station guided visitors to discover the expression that suited their taste, while experiential design delivered a tangible, emotional connection.
